Gothic Cathedral Window With Pointed Arch and Stone Tracery Coloring Page

Here is an entire Gothic window drawn in elevation rather than a detail of one. Below the transom bar stand four narrow lancets gridded into small square panes, with a dot set at every junction of the lead, two lancets to each side of a pair of tall plain lights that are left almost completely empty. Those two lights are the largest open shapes on the page at about 21 square centimeters each, and between them they account for roughly a seventh of the glass. Above the bar the head fills with tracery: cusped arches, a mandorla, rings of circles and trefoils, and a carved fleur crowning the apex inside a pointed oval. An outer hood runs over everything as a row of short stone voussoirs. The fine work is all in the head rather than the lancets. More than a third of the shapes up there measure under 3 mm across, so keep a sharpened pencil or a 0.5 mm fineliner for the circles and trefoils; the square panes below run close to a centimeter and will take a marker happily. Hold the tracery pale and push the lancet panes two or three values deeper, and the stonework will separate from the glass the way it does in a real church. The two plain lights are yours to decide. Leave them white and the window reads as morning sun; fill them with one deep tone and the whole page turns evening. Allow forty minutes and good light.
